I grew up in an acreage subdivision, where everyone built their homes at the same time.  Not "built their homes" as in how homes are built for you in today’s suburbia, but they actually built their own homes.  As a result, many of those families were pretty close to each other as they grew up.  The neighbouring family’s father has the same birthday as mine, which was kind of neat.  Now they are retired and living in Texas or Mexico somewhere, so, Happy Birthday John Campbell, wherever you are.

Well, another weekend has come and gone, and was quite relaxing.  In addition to the paper hoarding, I am also trying to buy up the world’s supply of rubbermaid containers.  Soon all of my stuff will be stored in orderly, durable, (and stackable) boxes!
 
I think the paper sales are mostly over, so I will have to bury this year’s stash in the backyard to keep it safe.  Speaking of paper, I finished Paper Mario 2 for the GameCube sometime last week.  I spent the last two hours thinking that I was almost finished, and it kept going!  But needless to say the adventure is over, but it was fun while it lasted.
 
Tomorrow I am off to Seattle for a business meeting.  While I was hoping to see the Space Needle, there will not be any time as it’s a quick trip.  Should be fun at any rate, except that I cannot find my Game Boy and don’t know what I will do on the plane!

The newest aquisitions have come from Superstore, with 150 sheets for 27 cents.  I only got two, but I am now up to 1100 sheets of looseleaf paper!

Way back at some point in high school, department stores declared price wars on looseleaf paper, where it was something like 25 cents for 200 sheets.  Everyone bought massive amounts of paper.  Given that, and the increased computer usage over time, I still actually have some of those packs of looseleaf paper.  Staples has 100 sheets for 10 cents in back to school savings this week.  Thats just too cheap to pass up!
 
So if its open season on paper sales again, I’m cashing in!  I’ll worry about what to do with the paper in a few years…

Sometime last year, we bought a scratch and win card.  Its one where you scratch off letters, and if you spell various 3-4 letter words, you win $2-$1000.  We scratched them all off, only to find out that one of the letters was scratched out.  It turns out that if this letter is one of a secific few, than we won!  Yay!  So, we left it laying around because "someday" we’d take it to the 7-11 to scan it and see if we won…
 
… I came across this card again today, and flipped it over.  It says PRIZES MUST BE CLAIMED ON OR BEFORE JUNE 30, 2005.  Hmm that’s cutting it close.  Is it a winning ticket?  Looks like I am going to go for a walk now to find out…
